Members of the Windsor Police Service Traffic Enforcement Unit handed out 115 enforcement actions on Wednesday, including charging a motorcyclist for driving on one wheel.

Police say the motorcyclist was charged with stunt driving after officers saw the rider operating the motorcycle on one wheel at Lauzon Parkway and Tecumseh Road East. The move is often called a “wheelie”.

The motorcycle was seized for 14 days, and their driver’s licence was suspended for 30 days. Additional penalties may apply once the matter proceeds to court.

Eight of the other enforcement actions were for driving without insurance.

Police say dangerous driving behaviours put everyone on the road at risk. Motorists are reminded to obey traffic laws and help keep our roads safe.
